Peritoneal dialysis peritonitis: common presentation by an uncommon organism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peritonitis remains a leading complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). About 18% of the infection-related mortality in PD patients is a result of peritonitis. We present a case of peritonitis in a patient on automated PD in whom the infection was not related to a break in PD technique, but to an unusual cause: retrograde transmission of a gonococcal organism.

Cytotoxic Glucose Degradation Products in Fluids for Peritoneal Dialysis
During the standard heat sterilization process of the lactate–buffered peritoneal dialysis solutions, glucose (an osmotic active substance) degrades to form compounds called glucose degradation products which are cytotoxic and affect the survival of the peritoneal membrane. This case presentation is based on an observation of 224 aseptic peritonitis cases of unknown etiology. For the purpose of...

متن کاملMycobacterium fortuitum as a cause of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis: case report and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PD-peritonitis) due to Mycobacterium spp is uncommon. Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTB) PD-peritonitis can present in a similar fashion to more common causes of bacterial PD-peritonitis. We describe the first reported case of multiresistant Mycobacterium fortuitum PD-peritonitis in an Australian patient. CASE PRESENTATION A 38 year-old ...
متن کاملEnterococcal peritonitis in children receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis.
BACKGROUND Peritonitis is a common complication of chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) and can be associated with technique failure. Enterococcus is an uncommon peritoneal pathogen in children receiving CPD but represents a potential therapeutic challenge due to its innate resistance to cephalosporins and emerging resistance to glycopeptides. METHODS The International Pediatric Peritonitis Regi...
